You know for sure that everybody you meet, and also wish to stay in touch with, has the newest technology for measuring information digitally, and knows how to utilize it. Not everybody has a smartphone. Not everybody knows how to use their telephones. Not everyone has the correct version of the program you need to use for getting and providing contact information.

You’re able to risk looking forgetful or fly-by-night. Humans at our current stage of development still seem to be paper-oriented creatures. (Unless you are networking with a time-traveler in the near future, or Vox from the planet Xibatron.) If someone asks you to get a business card and you have to reply, “I do not have one”, they can find the impression that you walked from the workplace without them by error. Which could cause you to seem flighty. Or they might believe you haven’t been in business long enough to publish cards. Or that you jump right into and from business ventures often. Either way, not owning a business card can diminish your credibility.

You don’t mind getting submerged in the flood of information that’s coming at your prospects. When you look through your pile of snail mail, what exactly are you likely to pull out and examine? How about a handwritten envelope? The identical principle creates a printed business card noticeable in the tidal wave of e-info that your prospects deal with daily.

Let’s acknowledge it Printed business cards usually do kill trees. So, let’s make sure those green miracles do not die in vain. Here are hints for making your printed business cards an effective marketing instrument:

Pick paper. Decide on a paper stock that is inviting to touch. Perhaps a little thicker than the average card. Not too much texture to the surface, but maybe not perfectly smooth either. And be certain that the color of your paper inventory will not alter the colors of what is published onto it, whether that is a full-color photograph, or your company’s logo. No mustard-yellow paper to your bright red emblem, as an example. (I speak from bitter experience.)

Use both sides. This helps because we all have so many pieces of contact information today. Employing either side gives you more room to spell out custom URLs and social media links.

Change the size. Since your card probably doesn’t have to fit in a Rolodex anymore, is it a different size? How about a bigger card which folds down to the conventional 2 x 3.5 dimensions?

Change the shape. Rectangles are not required. Can your printing vendor change the contour, even slightly, without increasing the cost by much? Request about rounding the corners (also called radius corners), or utilizing an present die from a preceding project.

Print fewer cards at a time. Contact information and job titles vary fast. Print in smaller quantities at a time to remain flexible. If your card has to include a fancy, pricey touch (such as a custom made die-cut, embossing or foil-stamping), see if you can print “cubes” with places left blank, so that the cubes can be placed back on the press and overprinted with this new info in smaller batches once the time comes. Printing fewer also gives you more flexibility to test including different or more information in your card. As an example, you could try including a QR code to your card, print 50-100, and see how folks respond.

Have over one card. Who says you can’t have two (or more) different versions of your cards? Try a variant with more contact info, or distinct kinds of contact info. Maybe a version that emphasizes among your company’s capabilities over the remainder.

Take an un-card. I have seen fortune cookies, military “dog tags”, oversized film tickets, wooden clothespins, playing cards, guitar picks and drink coasters used as the basis for outstanding cards. For inspiration, collect examples of business cards that you like before you re-design or reprint your next batch of cards.

Together With Your Business Cards Well

Now that you’ve got a new batch of cards you are proud to hand out, Here Is a refresher on using these well:

Stash ’em everywhere. In numerous places: briefcase, pockets, glove box. In every one of these places, store the cards in some type of case that is somewhat different. It can be a conversation-starter.

Utilize them in the ideal moment. Attempt to escape the habit of thrusting a card at your contact also early in your initial conversation. Build rapport by discovering things in ordinary first, then exchange cards just before you part ways.

Request (and give) seconds. When you are exchanging cards, request your new contact for just two of his/her cards. Start looking for opportunities to pass that excess card to a third contact who may need your new contact’s services. Likewise, offer two of your own cards.

Make notes, subtly. Most of us want a memory-jog at the time we sit down to really do something with business cards we’ve received. As soon as you can do it, write a few notes about your new contact on the trunk or at the margins of the card you just received from him/her. But avoid writing on a individual’s business card in front of them. This can make you look forgetful, or make that person feel as though you are defacing what he/she carefully handed to you.
